The Attukal Pongala held in Attukal Temple, one of the ancient temples in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, is the largest congregation of women for a festival in the world.

Pongala, which means ‘to boil over’, is the ritual in which women prepare sweet pongal and offer it to the Goddess or ‘Attukal Amma’. The ritual can only be performed by women and the number of devotees has increased to the point that it has been recorded in the Guinness World Book of Records. Almost 40 lakh women usually participate in this festival every year.

On the morning, around 900 women devotees who had gathered at Karamana, to offer Pongala to Attukal Devi were served breakfast by a team of seven Annapoorna volunteers from Thiruvananthapuram. Amidst the strict traffic regulations put in place as part of festival arrangements and the scorching heat in the city the breakfast was gladly received by the devotees.

It turned out to be an extremely unique experience this year for the volunteers as they could take part in this festival of social harmony in their own humble way.

The Annapoorna volunteers from Kannur, Kerala, apart from nourishing the lives of 500+ school going children through the Annapoorna breakfast programme in Kannur district, have revived the hopes of a needy family with their remarkable selfless service!

Thomas, who has a family of three, hails from Kottiyur in Kannur district of Kerala state. His struggle to help the family’s ends meet was awfully interfered when he was inflicted by a disorder in his legs. His movement got totally restricted and henceforth the family solely relied on the income from his wife’s daily low wages.

Thomas’ misery worsened when his old house got entirely destroyed during the recent Kerala floods. Thus, his daughter’s marriage wasn’t materialising due to the current miserable condition of his house.

The Annapoorna volunteers from Kannur, on discovering the needy condition of the family, resolved to extend help. Under the adept leadership of Sri Satheeshan, a group of Annapoorna volunteers worked towards the cause of reconstructing the house. The group gathered significant financial support estimated for the renovation. The good will from the Panchayat Vice President Mr V P Roy pitched in, and the labour work was done voluntarily which reduced the expenditure. Thus a house was built not only with bricks but with pillars of love and compassion.

Thomas’ family’s joy was further multiplied when the new house hosted the engagement of their daughter on 24th January 2019. Annapoorna volunteers didn’t stop at just reconstructing the house, as they presented an engagement ring and bridal clothes for the bride!

Kudos to Annapoorna volunteers from Kannur for having taken up an uphill task of reconstructing the fortunes of the lives of a needy family!

Annapoorna’s entry in BSE SAmmaan can be viewed at: http://www.bsesammaan.com/ProfileDetail.aspx?Regid=6382

Sammaan is a platform that is the first of its kind that bridges the accountability gap between corporations and NGOs. With over 20 lakh NGOs registered in India, companies today find it increasingly hard to navigate the world of corporate social responsibility. They have no way to validate the legitimacy of the NGOs or limited understanding of how their funds are being utilised. With Sammaan, they can now pick from verified NGOs, avail of periodic reports and get certification for Sammaan for their CSR contributions.

What the volunteers of the Annapoorna Breakfast Programme from Noida witnessed during this Sankaranti perfectly fits this line!

Annapoorna breakfast is served to the GPS and GMS schools in Hoshiarpur in Noida, a part of Uttar Pradesh state. One of the vendors, who was touched by the volunteers’ service for the needy schoool children, supplies certain items at a very nominal rates for the breakfast programme in these schools for over two months.

This Sankaranthi, the vendor went one step further, and got his staff to make 550 packets of Rewari and Gajak for the school children, adding to the oranges that were being distributed by Annapoorna volunteers.

He went to the schools to distribute them himself, and displayed a lot of enthusiasm and humility during the activity. He has promised to be back shortly with Soya katoris (a type of Salted savories/ Namkeen)!
